A spring morning in the zen garden
Step into a raked gravel garden on a calm spring morning with this zen garden ambience, free to enjoy in any browser. Water runs in a thin stream from a bamboo spout into a stone basin.
A light breeze moves through the tall bamboo, and the stems creak softly. Far away, birds call. Under the eave, a set of wind chimes stirs, rings a few soft notes, and falls quiet again.
All at once the bamboo knocker tips, pours out its water, and swings back against the stone with a bright, hollow clack. It startles you a little, and then it makes you smile. A flute plays long, breathy notes over the soft plucks of a zither. The morning slows to the pace of the dripping water.
If the flute and zither are too much, the No music button leaves just the garden. For more ringing in the breeze, choose More wind chimes under the picture.
